Well, this should make for some busy days and battles ahead
/National Association of Realtors bans “hate speech”, even off the job.
Earlier this month, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Board of Directors approved a measure banning hate speech and discrimination — not just in an agent’s real estate practice but also in his or her personal conduct, including non-professional social media accounts.
“REALTORS® who engage in hate speech or discriminatory conduct even outside of their real estate practice could face disciplinary action under the Code of Ethics,” REALTOR® Magazinereported. “The National Association of REALTORS®’ Board of Directors … approved a proposal intended to hold members to a higher standard of ethics in everything they do.”
NAR President Vince Malta called the move “a monumental moment for NAR” in reaffirming its commitment to fair housing.
The NAR answered a member’s question:
Doesn’t this mean that if I post my opinion online and someone doesn’t agree with it, that I can lose my membership and be forced out of the business?
As with any alleged Code violation, ethics complaints alleging a violation of Article 10 as interpreted by Standard of Practice 10-5 will be processed consistent with the local or state association’s professional standards enforcement process, which affords all parties a full and fair opportunity to present their case, defend themselves, provide evidence and witnesses, and be represented by counsel.
Uh-huh. Everything not approved by the properly-woke Left is hate speech today, just as all whites are racists and Nazis so, without inflating my self-importance too much, I expect to see a barrage of complaints filed against me in the future; if so, I’ll be there with camera rolling. This blog may be about to get more interesting.
Just to get things rolling, here’s some ammunition: Gender dysphoria is a mental disease, not a normal expression of the 57-varieties of sex, and boys shouldn’t be allowed in girl’s locker rooms.
Roll that up and smoke it.
UPDATE: This coming battle isn’t about one silly real estate blog, of course; they’re after 70 million people who voted the wrong way in the election. The calls for enemy lists, “re-education and deprogramming” and employment termination that have been sweeping the airwaves these past two weeks are very, very real.
